Thyroid nodule level 4, timely surgery is very important

In clinical practice, multiple thyroid nodules are the most common. If not treated in time, they may become cancerous. Severe thyroid nodules require timely surgery. Daily diet is also very important. Eat more high-protein foods and the diet should have enough calories.

1. Surgical resection

Autonomous hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas can also be surgically removed, and appropriate preparation should be made before surgery to prevent hyperthyroid crisis. Other benign nodules can also be treated with elective surgery if the patient has major concerns or cannot undergo regular follow-up.

Thyroid cystic lesions are mostly benign lesions and can be treated conservatively. Generally, simple puncture and aspiration treatment is performed first, 1-2 times a month. For those who fail to respond to repeated aspiration, tetracycline hydrochloride or anhydrous ethanol can be used for sclerotherapy. The cyst fluid should be subjected to routine pathological examination. If there are cancer cells or suspected cancer cells in the cyst fluid, or if the puncture of the remaining nodules suggests malignancy, surgical treatment should be performed. If not treated, local cells may easily become malignant over time, endangering one's life, and the malignant rate of thyroid tumors is relatively high.

2. Patient diet

1. Patients with thyroid nodules should supplement enough calories. This is because hyperthyroidism increases the body's metabolic rate, so calories need to be increased.

2. In addition, you should also eat more foods high in protein, such as meat, eggs, milk, etc. Vitamins also need to be supplemented. This is because as calories increase, the body's need for B vitamins will also increase. In addition, how should the diet of thyroid nodules be arranged?

3. Coastal residents should eat less seafood and control their iodine intake. Patients should also eat more foods that can eliminate swelling, such as mustard greens, kiwi fruit, etc.

4. You should also eat more foods that can enhance immunity, such as fungus, yam, fresh fruits, etc.

5. Do not eat spicy or irritating foods, such as tea, cigarettes, alcohol, pepper, cinnamon, etc.; avoid fatty and fried foods; for thyroid nodules caused by high iodine, do not eat seafood. After nodules appear in the thyroid gland, it is not advisable to eat foods high in iodine, such as kelp, dried shrimps, and seaweed.
